This page has a couple examples that use the phrasing “spelling” a death knell:
> If it does, it almost spells the death knell of a great number of football clubs throught the country.
> Indeed, it may spell the death knell of the other place.
If it sounds strange in US English, could it be a way of wording that’s more common in UK English?
